YOURDOOR believe that their products should meet your specific needs, and not the other way around. This constantly increases their product range and provides custom solutions to real problems. Every step of the production process is continuously monitored, which enables them to ensure quality at every stage of the process. The sales team take pride in their after-sales service and support, which enables YOURDOOR to monitor the installation process that customers carry out. This monitoring reveals that efficiency and accuracy are important aspects of both processes, and the company are constantly adjusting and adapting its products as a direct result of the findings, and the feedback received. A perfect example of this is their new Pre-Tensioned Springs. That’s right, they now offer pre-tensioned extension springs, resulting in an easier way to mount a complete HOME-X system. Unlike other extension springs in the market where the complete door weight must be lifted, the pre-tensioned extension springs make lifting the door much easier. So easy in fact, that the HOME-X system can be installed by just one person. This is possible due to the fact that pre-tensioned springs carry up to 85-90% of the door weight. Here’s how it’s done: Using distance blocks to support the bottom panel +10cm off the ground, the bottom panel can be rested in place against the tracks. This allows for the cables, bottom brackets and rollers to be installed. Now the distance blocks can be removed, as the bottom panel will remain supported by the cables. Place the next panel on top of the bottom panel, and install the rollers in a loose sealing position (these will be adjusted later on). Install the side hinges and rollers, and repeat this process until you’re on the top panel. Placing the top panel on top and pushing it down will release the pre-tensioned mechanism, allowing top rollers and hinges to be installed. From here, due to the pre-tensioned springs, one person can open the door with ease. Secure the door panel in the correct open position. Remove the pre-mounted cable retainers, then remove the spring from the pre-tensioned position, securing it into the correct position. Remove the clamps securing the door can be removed, and all rollers can be adjusted to ensure a perfect fit. This being said, the vast majority of businesses will typically install sectional doors in small teams. YOURDOOR pre-tensioned springs will not only minimise the time and effort but can also be installed safely, without the health and safety risks involved in staff lifting the entire weight of large doors on a daily basis.
